You can feel anyway you want about Trump but don't be surprised if people disagree with your absurdity regarding how YOU think his actions and non-actions should be explained.You seem to believe everyone should agree with your 365 day plus Trump reactions. Dream on .

Fixed it.

There are numerous posters who have been accused, on a regular basis, of being liars. By those two. Posters have also been maligned and labeled in derogatory and rude terms. Also on a regular basis.

Yet you NOW want to know what THEIR precise lies were?
My remarks were in direct response to their remarks about the so-called exercise that was a test until it wasn't. or something like that.
I suggest you re-read the posts in question. In context.

I'm sorry, but your answers to several other poster's legitimate concerns that YOU deem "hateful, emotional, red herring and absurd"' shows that YOU, too, made a judgment, and it isn't an impartial one.

You'd be the ONLY human being capable of making truly impartial, unbiased judgments.
AND you make subjective speculations.

So, some of us think that Trump's non-action showed his ineptitude for the job.

You don't think so.

Fine.
We don't share YOUR subjective evaluation of an incident.

Hmmmm, interesting. I specifically ask for cited examples of their purported lies in regards to this thread, and you don't provide any, while simultaneously repeating the claim that they've lied. You then go on to claim that I am not impartial, while simultaneously citing a couple of quotes which reflect nothing more than a casual impartial observation, with the added caveat that nobody is capable of making impartial observations.

A lot of muddying the water going on there; but the facts remain.

It's funny how butthurt people get when Omega expresses a worldview ever-so-slightly different from their own.

Amazing you mention that. I've got conservatives currently on my social media accusing me of being too liberal, and liberals accusing me of being too conservative. Apparently I'm just not the answer to anyone's confirmation bias.

Is that what he did or did he tell me (in ALL CAPS) that the alert had nothing to do with Trump even though I never said otherwise? He did across two threads, in fact.

Nobody here said Trump pressed the alert button. What OM deemed as "emotional" was the criticism generated towards Trump's non-action after the fact. We got a glimpse of what the President cares more about when he tweeted about fake news rather than even acknowledge the incident. Would it have killed him to say *something* about it? Apparently, yes.

Pretty simple. Surprised you don't see it.

You chose to insert Trump into the equation. That is a fact. I'll just keep it at that. Pretty simple.

Trump was told about the incident and continued golfing. That's called me inserting a relevant fact into the story. You found it "emotional" and fueled by "blind outrage" (or whatever it was) to bring it up. I find it willfully ignorant to pretend there isn't a tangible connection.

It's kind of weird you don't think Trump deserves mention in a discussion about Hawaii's perceived nuclear annihilation, momentary as it was, given the events of the last several months.

It's more weird you think that an event caused by a failure of a state employee to follow state procedures while operating a state system which was reported to Trump as an exercise should cause him to say ANYTHING.

Trump's comments.
"They made a mistake," he said Sunday, commending authorities for taking responsibility for what happened,
"Well, that was a state thing, but we're going to now get involved with them. I love that they took responsibility, they took total responsibility, but we're going to get involved," he said. "Their attitude and what they want to do, I think it's terrific. They took responsibility, they made a mistake."
Asked what will be done to make sure that doesn't happen again, Trump said: "Well, we hope it won't happen again, but part of it is that people are on edge, and maybe eventually we'll solve the problem and they won't have to be so on edge."

Dotard's "button" and "fire and fury" talk lend credence to a false missile alert. He holds plenty of responsibility for making an erroneous missile alert seem plausible.

Even for you this line of "reasoning" is jabberwocky.

Yeah, I'm sure that HI employee thought exactly that before he pressed the "yes" button.

Right.

Even Trump somehow realizes and verbalizes that the current political situation with NK, poisoned with nuclear threats, DOES have something to do with "people being on edge".
And their reaction to a false alert.

TDS. Sad, sad, sad. Not Kim's fault for pushing his nuke weapons program - Trump's for responding. You guys are friggin' amazing.
